BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! This is the brutal, ear deafening sound that I'm so lucky to hear every morning at 4 AM. Before the sun even decides to shed a little light over the horizon, I'm up, in the shower, and on my way to my first client. The demands of a personal trainer are strict. Clients want to work out at all times of the day and it's my job to make sure that I do my best to fit their schedules, or else I don't have any clients. If I want to stay in business, I have to bend over backwards. No matter how much I whine and moan about it, I love what I do. I just don't care for the odd hours, but it's part of the lifestyle of a personal trainer. Take the good with the bad! From 4 AM until 8:30 PM, I'm busy. It's almost impossible to sit down and enjoy a lunch, but I somehow still manage to fit exercise into my weekly routines. I hit the gym 3 to 4 days a week, for at least an hour each time. Although you might think I get enough exercise with my clients, I ...

As a personal trainer with pectus excavatum, I know how tough it can be to live the day to day life with pectus. It's constantly on your mind, especially during the hot summer days or when you're wearing a thin t-shirt. I know, I've been there. You're not alone. I've never wanted to opt for any of the surgeries. It's a personal choice. I noticed it when I was about 13 years old, and ever since then, I've come up with ways to hide it, certain clothing that looks better on me, etc. I've since learned of several exercise, yoga, and training techniques, which have helped the appearance with a lot of dedication. My pectus has probably improved about 25% in the past 2 years or so, which is absolutely amazing considering there was no surgery involved. That combined with the fact that I've bulked up the areas surrounding the "dent" make it look a whole lot less noticeable. You can read my article on how to improve your physical appearance with pectus by clicking here. ...

As a personal trainer in Greenville, SC it seems that the one question that I receive the most is "How can I get a flat stomach" or "How can I get a six pack?". The answer to that isn't as easy as some infomercials or magazines would like you to believe. Getting a flat stomach or a six pack is always going to be a work in progress, and even when you get there, you have to constantly maintain it to keep it lean and trim. So, where can you get started? Here are a 5 tips to help you get on your way. 1) When doing ab exercises, mix it up. The more varied and mixed-up your routine is, the more you're bound to do. If you do the exact same crunches every single day, you're probably bored or have fallen into the old trap of same ol', same ol'. Switch it up! Do planks, which are GREAT for the transverse abdominis muscle. It's the ab muscle that is responsible for holding your stomach together, so if you tighten it, it's going to lead to a tighter appearance ...ptjustinbowers@gmail.com

The number one reason that most people fail at their weight loss and exercise goals is because they quit. Bottom line: For something to work, you have to keep at it. If you keep doing the exact same thing over and over again and expecting different results, then you must see the light and realize that you have to make the change mentally. If you hit the gym and know what to do, come home and know what to eat, and you're still not seeing results... it's probably because you're not doing these things. That's where it's not the task at hand that's the problem, it's you. You've got to mentally prepare yourself. Trust me, a half-drunken promise on New Years is very different than actually putting in the work when it comes down to crunch time. Here's a few ways to make sure you stick to your weight loss promises: 1. Reward yourself. Think about this-- have you ever worked your butt off with no reward? Have you ever put in a hard day's work and not expected some sort of ...
